Serving Clovis, Portales and the Surrounding Communities

Former Phoenix model opens shop in Clovis

A Phoenix native now living in Clovis has opened a shop named Trampalina Fashion in Clovis.

“It’s for the girl who likes to bounce from one outfit to another,“ owner Tonia Lockett said.

Lockett described Trampalina Fashion as a store of clothes, costumes, accessories, jewelry, handbags, head pieces (which she designs) and Kentucky Derby hats.

The shop, at the corner of North Prince and Texas streets in front of Walmart, opened at the beginning of August.

“The shop is supposed to have a ‘boutique-y’ vibe,” Lockett said.

Lockett , who worked as a model in Phoenix, also owned two stores in Tempe, Ariz., a suburb of Phoenix.

“We used to compete in fashion shows. We won awards,” Lockett said.

Lockett’s husband is an emergency room doctor at the Clovis and Portales hospitals. Lockett said her husband “loves these communities.”

“We love to travel the world. I just brought in some clothes to the shop from Italy, France and Belgium,” Lockett said.

Lockett looks forward to meeting more people in the area through her shop.

“I have no ‘season rules,’” Lockett said.
